Notre invitée de French Boss n’a plus, la cinquantaine atteinte, d’autre rêve professionnel, que celui de contribuer – depuis Los Angeles où elle vit actuellement -à faire émerger un nombre croissant de licornes françaises. Et, si possible, dans le domaine du luxe et de la beauté. Car durant 20 ans de vie professionnelle, Odile Roujol a occupé de très hautes fonctions dans des maisons dont le seul nom fait rêver tout amateur de luxe, Chanel, Saint-Laurent… Avant de ressentir le besoin impératif de changer d’horizon et donc de maison. Au luxe va succéder la data. A Lancôme va succéder Orange. Et cette révélation pour Odile que ces deux univers, en se rapprochant, peuvent s’apporter beaucoup. Cette observation va faire office de tremplin pour la seconde partie de sa carrière. Début 2020, Odile crée Fab Ventures, fonds d’investissement destiné à aider le secteur du luxe à grandir grâce aux nouvelles technologies. Quelques mois plus tard, près d’une quinzaine de start-up ont déjà bénéficié de cette aide. Fab Ventures et Odile Roujol, l’histoire toute simple d’une femme devenue entrepreneuse après s’être considérée toute sa vie comme une Business Angel.
En quelques années, Odile Roujol a developpé FaB Fashion & BeautyTech community où peut se rencontrer une nouvelle génération de talents et partager leurs innovations. Plus de 1500 acteurs de la BeautyTech se réunissent chaque mois dans les différents meetups à travers le monde. Lors de son dernier passage à Paris, l'ex DG de Lancôme et VP d'Orange est venu nous parler de la révolution BeautyTech.

Who is Imène Maharzi? Imène Maharzi is a French based professional, who started working in the French Private Equity space 18 years ago. She started out her career as an auditor with Arthur Andersen, and then became an investment professional with Butler Capital Partners where she had the opportunity to explore several sectors, geographies, investment sizes and targets. In 2013, she created Butterfly Partners, a company which invests time and money in start-ups and subject matter experts which demonstrate a social or environmental positive impact. In 2014-2015, she took over a majority stake in a school transportation company dedicated to exceptional children with autism, Down syndrome, etc.. As the CEO, she transformed a 15-year family business into a social business, with a resolution to trigger a positive social impact on both employees and beneficiaries, through a strong user-centric, quality-driven approach. As she moved through her professional career, she noticed that there was a problem in getting access to capital for female founders that she saw resulted in a massive waste of both economic and social value. This led her to create OwnYourCash this year. OwnYourCash is an educational platform, both online and IRL, to train women (and men) to become Business Angels. By opening a conversation on biases, gender-lens investing and impact investing, OwnYourCash will contribute to smoother access to capital for projects co-founded by women. With OwnYourCash, she is committed to training 2000 new female business angels by the year 2020. The mission of OwnYourCash is to foster economic independence for women leading to true male/female equality Show Highlights Imène shared her professional journey into private equity and ultimately starting her new company OwnYourCash to educate and train 2000 new female business angels by 2020. Imène talks about social entrepreneurship in France…creating a social return and a financial return. Imène shares the details on OwnYourCash and how the time is right to educate new business angels and create a new business angle network and how the change in the tax laws in France this year will be a positive thing for new business angels. If Imène had a magic wand, she would make the ‘plain vanilla’ investing be impact investing with everyone going after economic return along with a social or environmental return. Terri’s Key Takeaway Investing is an information business.
